HC Deb 02 March 1920 vol 126 cc243-4
45. Mr. REMER

asked the Prime Minister what policy the Government pursue in selecting Committees of Inquiry; and why, on the Standing Committee on Trusts, half the members are Socialists?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridge-man)

I have been asked to reply. The members of the various sub-committees appointed for the purpose of conducting investigations under the Profiteering Act are selected from the Central Committee and also from others possessing a technical knowledge of the trade to be investigated. I am not aware that half the members of the Committee on Trusts are Socialists.
